The ‘Titans’ television show wants us to know it’s super-serious about people with powers. So serious that it forgot that this should be a show about heroes.

Lois & Clark Rule This Week in DC

February 25, 2016December 7, 2017Corrina Lawson

This is an odd week for DC. First, an alternate universe story featuring classic Lois & Clark is our favorite, Frank Miller seems to have a more hopeful view of superheroes than many of DC’s current comics, Neal Adams goes back to 1970s style storytelling and the big Darkseid War saga is falling flat, even […]

Williams III quit the comic, citing that DC would never allow Kate Kane and Maggie Sawyer to be married as one of the major reasons for his departure. “We were told to ditch plans for Killer Croc’s origins; forced to drastically alter the original ending of our current arc, […]

It was originally used to describe “a performer engaging in bizarre act.” Even some of our comic book heroes owe their look and some abilities to the circus. Dick Grayson is a perfect example.
